Summer 2024 undergraduate research programs, REU and SPUR

The Cornell Math Department will not be offering the REU or SPUR Programs for Summer 2024.  We anticipate hosting the programs in Summer 2025 depending on funding and faculty mentorship availability.  An update on the 2025 programs will be posted in mid-December 2024.  

The Math Department has limited funding available for Cornell undergraduate students to pursue a summer research project with a Math faculty member.  The faculty member must request the funds from the Department Chair in a 1-page proposal describing the summer plans.  Deadline for submitting proposals is Friday, February 9, 2024.

The REU and SPUR summer programs provide the opportunity for undergraduate students of mathematics to participate in leading-edge research. Projects are designated "REU" and others are designated "SPUR".  The difference between REU and SPUR projects is the funding support that is available (See the Program Information link below).  For a history and to see archives of some previous REU/SPUR Programs go to REU/SPUR History and Archives.
